Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the management of the School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds in improving the educational performance at SD Negeri Inpres Dok IX Jayapura City. The research focuses on: 1) the process of BOS fund management, 2) supporting and inhibiting factors, 3) and the impact of fund management on improving educational performance.

Research methodology: The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data was collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations involving the school principal, teachers, students, BOS management team, parents, and representatives from the Education Office. Data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis techniques and the interpretation of average scores based on the Likert scale.

Results: The research results show that: 1) BOS fund management at the school is carried out efficiently, transparently, and accountably, with the funds being used appropriately, such as for paying honorary teachers' salaries, purchasing stationery, capital expenditures, facility repairs, and educational activities. 2) Supporting factors for BOS fund management include the active involvement of all parties and complete administrative documentation, while inhibiting factors include the lack of financial management training and the low allocation of teacher training. 3) The BOS fund management strategy has been directed to support improvements in education quality through funding allocations for learning activities, facilities, and honorary teachers' salaries. However, there are weaknesses in the development of human resources (HR), such as limited teacher training (with the lowest score of 3.67 from the questionnaire).
